We organized an exhibition about Glenn's career at the Rock Museum of Budapest. The opening will be on 3 August, at 6 pm. Glenn will be there, he will deliver a short speech. The exhibition will be open until 3 September. In case you happen to come to Hungary, feel free to visit it!

p.s. I'll post some photos of the opening ceremony later.

Here are some photos from the Glenn Hughes exhibition. This exhibition is a temporary one that the Rockmuseum put together on the occasion of Glenn's concert in Hungary (August 4, Fezen festival). We started the organization in mid-May, when I wrote to Drew Thompson, Glenn's manager (a big thanks to him for his cooperation and help), who told me that Glenn had accepted our invitation. We collected the material in July: CDs, LPs, posters, newspaper articles, tickets, photos, stage passes, etc. The vitrines were full of Glenn's CDs and even like this it was impossible to put all of them out (you know how it is...)

I can't say that the organization process was smooth and without any complications, but in the end I guess that's normal

So the exhibition was set up and we were preparing for welcoming Glenn to the opening ceremony. It was really REALLY exciting! His plane arrived at 6.20 pm, and his two managers, Drew and Carl Swann came with him. Since Glenn is a friend of mine, we decided that I'm going to the airport with one of the cars (we sent two cars: you know, big bags, etc...). In the meanwhile the gates opened at 6 pm in the museum, and at 7.15 Cryfree, the Hungarian Deep Purple cover band started to play Glenn's hits. Approximately 120 people attended.

We arrived to the museum around 7.30, when we took Glenn to the exhibition, behind closed doors. He went around, signed some of the items on display Afterwards we brought him on the stage. The audience was super happy to see him! Mind you, that night Alice Cooper was playing at Fezen festival, so the people who were at the museum - well, they were the real fans many from our Hungarian GH fanclub Glenn gave a short speech, then he listened to the band playing Coast To Coast (I played with them on cello - can you imagine, playing to Glenn himself, his own song!! It was amazing )))). After the concert we went back to the exhibition and asked Glenn whether he was willing to sign for the audience. The managers said that they had only half an hour - but even like this everyone got a signature! The atmosphere was really uplifting, people were so happy that they could shake hands with their hero! Glenn was very sweet, he did everything he could for the fans. And we, the organizers, were happy that we managed to make so many people happy by organizing this event
